Almost TGIF!!

Watching a new "House Hunters" in LA - two gay guys, Luis and Tyson.

Now a new "House Hunters International" in Cognac, Poitou-Charentes, France. From Wikipedia here:

Poitou is believed to be the region of origin of most of the Acadian and Cajun populations of North America (settlements founded in New Brunswick, Louisiana, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, the Gaspe Peninsula of Quebec, Maine and Newfoundland .^[1] Their ancestors emigrated from the region in the 17th and 18th centuries.

At first, these French immigrants from Poitou settled in eastern Canada, and established an agricultural and maritime economy (farming and fishing). This area of the "New World" was dubbed Acadia by the French, after the Greek Arcadia - the idyllic part of the Peloponnesian peninsula in Greece. It was renamed Nova Scotia (New Scotland) in the aftermath of the 1755 expulsion of most of the Acadians by the English.

Now it's a new "Selling LA" and next a new "Selling New York." Ugh. (But the drummer from Guns & Roses is cool.) "Selling New York" gives me vertigo. LA is beautiful, however. And all the agents on both shows are nice.

Love the $25 million clock tower apartment in Brooklyn (the most expensive apartment ever in Brooklyn). (You can see the Brooklyn Bridge from the bathroom.) But the $14 million townhouse on Bethune St. would be more to my liking - not so high up.

Now for some "Viking Wilderness."

E. called and said he had a good night at work. It's getting to be tourist season.
